I always though Pavlik was America's Ricky Hatton for popularity and all. In general for British folk I would say; 1. Ricky Hatton 2. Joe Calzaghe 3. Amir Khan 4. Enzo Maccarinelli 5. Carl Froch For hated: Junior Witter Oustide Britain: Oscar De La Hoya Hated Outside Britain: Floyd Mayweather jnr. (soon to be Hopkins no doubt.)
Sorry but froch is pretty much th most hated boxer in britain haye is alot more popular. Frank bruno is the most popular british boxer ever though.
joe louis was practically worshipped. listen to bert sugar talk about him on espn's top heavyweights video.
All the uglies love Froch. Yeah Bruno was probably most popular cause everyone fron grannies to children liked him. Nigel Benn to was very popular.
